Thanks to everyone for helping fill our show last weekend at The Double-Wide. The best part was when the power went off, the crowd turned on the camera phones and sang the chorus of Cityscape to us three times! What a fantastic show, not to mention Party Static and Obscured By Echoes were some of the best bands we've ever played with. Way to kill it! Next up, Clint Barlow at Trees asked THE ORANGE to be part of a very special show he is throwing called, "Trees Powered Down". The show will feature the best local bands playing rare acoustic sets. The songs shall be recorded and featured in a super-cool compilation CD Trees will be releasing at the end of the year. The date of our show is Friday, October 26th. The best part..No Cover! If you enjoyed our last acoustic set at The House of Blues in August, you don't want to miss what we have in store for this one. Legendary blues guitarist Buddy Neighbors will be filling in with us for the occasion and he is not one to be missed! In other news the record is coming right along. We will be posting studio pictures later this week. Everyone be safe.
THE ORANGE
Ladies and gentleman. The date is September 20th and the past few weeks have been a whirlwind of music, good weather, bad weather, books and Rock n' Roll antics. First off, I have to thank everyone for helping us have such a fantastic run of sold out shows lately. It's been crazy. We've been playing 3 new songs that are coming out on the new album and the response has been fantastic. Mr. Moneymaker, Valium and I Want A Girl have really received a wonderful reception. We are still working on the new record with Eric Delegard at Reel Time Audio in Denton and we couldn't be happier as a band. Yes, our shows are wild and you never know what's going to happen either during or after and ORANGE gig but that's just Rock n' Roll and honestly we embrace it. The Bowling for Soup guys were all sweethearts and very nice to play with. Trees was top notch and the crowd was electric. Various clips of THE ORANGE playing our set have been posted on YouTube by different audience members. Pretty cool stuff too. To check them out just type: "THE ORANGE DALLAS TREES" under the search engine and a few different ones should pop up. Also our new Tshirts and hoodies seem to be selling pretty well. Even I have to admit they are the coolest Tshirts this band has ever produced. Over the course of the past few shows we have also had some professional photographers come and shoot us and what they have done has been great. Thanks to Jana Moore, Gabe Guevara and Jenna. Here are some of our favorites.

The night we played at Trees, Eddie Henderson and our buddy Dave Ramsey filmed the show and put together this really great video of various clips and songs from the gig. Not a bad little piece of video editing if I may say so myself.
After this weekend I received a book in the mail that had been ordered for me as a gift. The book is entitled, " Bit Of A Blur" by the English band Blur's bass guitarist, Alex James. The book is fabulous. I can't put it down. I recommend it to anyone who ever wants to play in a band or is currently in a band... ever. I've really grown to think that Blur is probably one of the three best bands of the 1990's. Their story is fascinating. Whether or not you like Blur's music you should read this book.
Last but certainly not least I have had several Emails from fans and friends that are just now discovering THE ORANGE and want to know where to buy or download our music. The link to our last EP is right below. Simply follow the link to itunes and don't be fooled by the other Orange bands! We're the only one worth buying a record from!
We were hanging out last night around Deep Ellum and went to a few art openings and came across this awesome sculpture titled, Inside by 500X Gallery Member Jonathan Snow. The amount of detail inside the head is really stunning. There is a miniature diorama of a hallway with doors and working lights and everything. You can interpret the hallways of the mind whichever way you want, it's just really cool. Go check it out if you have a chance. It's even better in person. I think the group show runs until the end of the month. The sculpture is priced upon request. www.500X.org
